I came to a round-about in my journey...but that's not going to stop me!

Over the course of the past couple years, I started this blog for my own benefit, as much as the hope of maybe helping inspire someone else who might be struggling with their journey to be fit and healthy.  One of the key things I've always said is you need to find what works for you, know your body, and listen to it...it will talk to you.  Well, mine talked to me.  It kind of started screaming!

Before Christmas, I had what I thought was a cold and a cough that then persisted.  I tried some things, worked with my family doctor, and I just couldn't shake the darn thing.  Knowing something just wasn't right, I saw an ENT to try and figure this thing out.  Through some testing and etc., and after some surgery a little over a week ago, I got the news nobody wants to hear.  I am taking a little round-about on my journey.  

I debated - do I share this news?  Do I write about my feelings, my fear, my fight, how mad I am I've worked so hard to get fit and healthy...and now my this?  Yep!  It's good therapy.  And if it gets one of you to listen to your damn body and what it's telling you, it's worth it! 

I am not going to share the intimate details, but I have cancer.  And don't anybody go getting teared up, I am going to be fine!  I don't want pity, I don't want sympathy, what I want is for you to listen to your body and be well.  We caught this early, it's totally treatable, and I'm a fighter!  I've got this, y'all!!! (Good thing I'm full of piss and vinegar, as my mom would say!  Haha!)  

My point is twofold...the first is, you know when something's not quite right.  Listen to your body and see the doctor.  Secondly, you can't let a little round-about take you back to where you started. You double knot your laces and keep going!
